Wine shop Quinta do Noval - Gaia

Was okay. Ordered one thing but received another. The waitress refuted this ever happening even though the wine was completely different name and class. She left me with the wine I didn’t ask for. Went to manager, manager made it awkward questioning waitress in front of me, clearly annoyed that I had even come to her. Was charged initial wine ordering that was a lesser cost than the wine I had intended to purchase. Offered to pay the difference but they instead came to grab the original wine from my table and discuss the exchange in the back. All I wanted was to change wines and pay price difference. Ultimately my waitress brought me the wine I originally asked for and advised me to order more carefully next time…. Using the terms that only applied to the wine I wanted initially (as per the menu). Wine was still good. Atmosphere great. Cheese plate messy but delicious.

We didn’t have food in this place but we bought only port wine by glass. The service was great and the port wine was excellent- turned out to be the best port wine we had in Porto in our opinion so we had to get a bottle at the airport as well. Recommended, and better than the other big names

Nice port tasting experience, river-side, so a great view. I was not familiar with this brand, but I will look for it in the future! We did the medium intensity tasting.

Fantastic little place with some of the best Port Wines the world has to offer. Service is seamless and knowledgeable whilst the menu is extensive. Beautiful view of the city and Duoro River. Highly recommend. - Value for money? Depends on taste - Worth a detour? Yes - Best for (occasion)? Indulging in Port Wines - Would I go back? Yes

Friendly and knowledgeable staff and great tastings. We chose to do a 40-year old port flight tasting with chocolate and added a separate 20-year old and glass of white. They paired really well with the chocolates and we ended up buying one bottle to take home.

Great service - CATARINA was/is wonderful. Port is a daunting proposition for many - even me, after years of practice! Catarina made me relaxed. Just next to Sandemans and looked more inviting. Had the “Port Wine Flight 40Y” - 5 great Ports for €48. Great value when you think how much you pay for Port in your local restaurant. Great venue - overlooking the river with the famous bridge in the background.

The tasting price is equal to nicest location in Porto. Service is nice and professional. Quality of wine is fine (we are more beer/whisky persons)

We did not have food, but we did have some wine here, it was fresh and nice on a warm day. The best part of the visit was the young man that was taking care of us. He told us that he was new and an intern, but he knew all about the wine and did a really great job taking care of us. We didn’t realize that they had closed because he did let on that we were over staying. We really appreciate his courtesy and we enjoyed sitting outside having some wine by the river. It’s a little fancier place than we would normally go to, but, we did enjoy it.
